Updated; you now get requests.

The existance of directories that are "foreign" to the TDF structure might not 
be a good check maybe, because mirrors frequently have additional directories 
or files for various reasons, often of local nature.

It would be possible though to add a plausibility check whether some file or 
directory exists on all mirrors. Mirrors can be partial and are free to mirror 
just what they want, but one or several such checks could be used to warn about 
mirrors that don't have known files. Possible. 

I committed a change in MB that makes this possible in an easy way. 

The newly implemented command finds one mirrors to look at:

 mb dirs --missing libreoffice
ftp.kaist.ac.kr

...which is indeed an error. The URLs of the mirror worked in the past, and 
I'll contact the mirror's operators about it.

Thanks for your input!
Peter
